Our Solar System consists of 9 planets, hundreds of moons and thousands of smaller bodies, such as asteroids and comets. If we look at past and present missions it seems that at first sight most of these bodies are of no interest for studying the subject of re-entry. Russia and the United States sent their probes to Venus and Mars, the Americans landed on the Moon, and a Japanese spacecraft on an asteroid in November 2005. And let us not forget about the joint NASA/ESA mission Cassini/Huygens: the European Huygens probe made a perfect entry, descent and landing in the atmosphere and on the surface of Titan, the largest moon of Saturn.
